5) Etihad Airways
Want to fly in the lap of luxury? Look no further than Etihad Airways. Etihad was not only declared one of the safest airlines of 2017, but has won several awards and been recognized for its excellent service. The Abu Dhabi based airline is young compared to others (founded in 2003), but they’ve clearly learned from their predecessors. Etihad services 111 destinations in the Americas, Australia, Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. The airline has met all audits to earn the 7 out of 7 safety rating. But what sets Etihad apart is its’ product; like the state-of-the-art Etihad Residence, available on A380 aircrafts. Etihad has bragging rights as the only airline to offer something as sophisticated as this three-room apartment with an en suite shower. Naturally, this is for the very affluent. Despite the overall luxurious style, economy class tickets are reasonably priced.
